Was he dreaming?
No, he felt sure he was awake.

So he got up and followed the woman.
He thought it very strange that the woman did not speak to him.

"I will ask her who she is," said he; but as he turned to address her she raised her arms in the air, and changing her form to that of a beautiful bird, blue as the sky that hangs over the morning's mist, she flew away.
Chaske was surprised and delighted too.

He loved adventures; had he not left home to seek them?
so he pursued his journey, quite forgetting his supper, which was cooking when he fell asleep.
He shot his arrow off again and followed it.

It was late in the evening when he found it, and then it was in the heart of a moose.
